Original Research by School Decision on Heard Lomie G Es
Heard Lomie G Elementary sits on Kell Lane in the eastern part of Las Vegas, within the Clark County School District. It is a regular public school serving pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. The school is not a charter or magnet, and it draws from the surrounding neighborhood.
The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with smaller groups of Black, Asian, White, multiracial, and American Indian or Alaska Native students. Every student at the school qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, which places Heard Lomie G among the schools serving the highest-need populations in the district. The data we received did not include the school's English learner or special education enrollment, so those shares are unknown here. Title I status was also not reported in the data we reviewed, though a school with universal free-lunch eligibility would typically participate in that federal program.
On state assessments, Heard Lomie G lands near the middle of the road in math and English language arts. Roughly half of tested students in grades three through eight reached proficiency in each subject, with math slightly ahead of ELA. Participation was strong across all tested subjects. Science results were lower, with only a small fraction of tested students reaching proficiency. A parent evaluating the school's academic profile may want to look into the science outcomes further with the school, as the gap between science and the other subjects is wide. We did not have multi-year trend data to compare whether these results are improving, holding steady, or declining over time.
Because the school ends at fifth grade, there is no graduation rate or high school pathway data to report. The school does not serve the grade bands where those metrics apply. We also did not receive information about specific academic programs, extracurricular offerings, staffing levels, discipline data, or attendance patterns. These gaps mean the portrait here is built from assessment results, enrollment, and the surrounding community's economic context.
The school's zip code is one of the more affordable parts of the Las Vegas area. Home values sit well below the Nevada state benchmark and modestly below the national figure, and they have dipped slightly over the past year. Rents have risen a small amount but remain lower than the estimated monthly cost of carrying a mortgage in the area, which makes renting the more economical option for many families in this neighborhood. The unemployment rate and median household income figures we reviewed are national series rather than local ones, so they give broad economic context but do not describe conditions specific to this neighborhood.
We looked for a locale brief for the immediate area around the school but none was available. The district brief returned no parent-relevant policy or curriculum changes specific to Clark County School District; publicly reported results from that search focused on county government structure rather than school district initiatives.
For a family considering Heard Lomie G, the school offers a conventional public elementary pathway in a neighborhood where housing costs are relatively manageable for the Las Vegas metro. Math and reading proficiency are reasonable for a school where the entire student body qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and the participation rate suggests strong engagement with the state testing process. The science results stand out as an area a parent may want to ask about directly. Beyond that, much of what shapes daily life inside the building, from program offerings to staff experience to school climate, was not available in the data we reviewed, so a visit or conversation with school leadership would help fill in those dimensions.
